Overview

Austrian Airlines' Airbus A320-214 (320) operates in a two class configuratuon with 28 Business Class seats and 132 Economy Class seats and is primarily used on short- and medium-haul flights.

Business Class is made by covering the middle seats in the first few rows of the aircraft. Meaning, the configuration of this aircraft varies. The seat pitch and width remains the same, however, you are given a bit more space with the middle seat being blocked out.

This is just a regular premium eonomy class bulkhead set of 3+3 seats with the middle seat not sold. It's not really up to par with most business class seats although it is perfectly fine by premium economy standards.

I would not pay for these, we used miles to get 2A and 2C and ended up sitting next to each other leaving the aisle seat open. As everyone says, they're normal economy seats with one less person. They are partitioned off so there is some privacy. The service is outstanding. There is one FA for max 8 people. The food was top notch. If it's long enough, I could see spending the money but on short flights, it's not really worth the upgrade.

The baggage compartments over lines 3 and 4 are reserved for business class (i.e. lines 1 and 2), so that passengers sitting in these lines have to place their handbaggage over lines 5-6 or even further back. This results in a long wait when it comes to retrieve the bag on arrival. If you're going to pick these lines to quickly leave the aircraft on arrival, you better reconsider it.

Austrian airlines sells economy seats as business class seats.On a 3.5 hours flight from Vienna to Tel Aviv. In any other business this would be called cheating.

I flew Vienna - Brussels on Friday afternoon. Plane was almost full, but not completely. Those seats near the emergency exist have extra legroom, which really make the trip more confortable. In my case, only 2 out of the 3 seats (A & C, D & F) were used in both rows 11 & 12. Maybe passangers are reluctant for handling the emergency exits. Service on board is limited to a (very small) snack and a drink. This is perfectly ok for a 1 and 1/2 hour flight. Friendly crew too.

The business class seat is similar to economy seats on American carriers. The maximum flight time should be 1 hour for this flight. I had a terrible experience with this flight. I was expecting a business class comfort but was shocked. the business class has three seats on each side and the seats are identical to the economy class on same plane. the legroom is also tight could not see a difference in legroom between business and economy.

Austrian airlines reconfigured their airbus aircraft with slimline leather seats. They do indeed give a more spacy interior and legroom at the cost of seat comfort. Tray table is at eye sight. A 2 hour flight is the maximum i'd suggest.
